Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 2
1 τω αγγελω τησ εν εφεσω εκκλησιασ γραψον ταδε λεγει ο κρατων τουσ επτα αστερασ εν τη δεξια αυτου ο περιπατων εν μεσω των επτα λυχνιων των χρυσων
Unto the messenger of the assembly, in Ephesus, write: —These things, saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven lamps of gold:
2 οιδα τα εργα σου και τον κοπον σου και την υπομονην σου και οτι ου δυνη βαστασαι κακουσ και επειρασασ τουσ λεγοντασ εαυτουσ αποστολουσ ειναι και ουκ εισιν και ευρεσ αυτουσ ψευδεισ
I know thy works, and thy toil, and endurance, and that thou canst not bear bad men, and thou hast tried them who were affirming themselves to be apostles, and they were not, and hast found them false;
3 και υπομονην εχεισ και εβαστασασ δια το ονομα μου και ουκ εκοπιασασ
And thou hast, endurance, and hast borne for the sake of my name, and hast not grown weary.
4 αλλα εχω κατα σου οτι την αγαπην σου την πρωτην αφηκασ
Nevertheless, I have against thee, that, thy first love, thou hast left.
5 μνημονευε ουν ποθεν πεπτωκασ και μετανοησον και τα πρωτα εργα ποιησον ει δε μη ερχομαι σοι ταχυ και κινησω την λυχνιαν σου εκ του τοπου αυτησ εαν μη μετανοησησ
Remember, therefore, whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do, thy first works; otherwise, I come unto thee, and will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou repent.
6 αλλα τουτο εχεισ οτι μισεισ τα εργα των νικολαιτων α καγω μισω
But, this, thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which, I also, hate.
7 ο εχων ουσ ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταισ εκκλησιαισ τω νικωντι δωσω αυτω φαγειν εκ του ξυλου τησ ζωησ ο εστιν εν τω παραδεισω του θεου μου
He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. Unto him that overcometh—I will give, unto him, to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
8 και τω αγγελω τησ εν σμυρνη εκκλησιασ γραψον ταδε λεγει ο πρωτοσ και ο εσχατοσ οσ εγενετο νεκροσ και εζησεν
And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Smyrna, write: —These things, saith the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
9 οιδα σου τα εργα και την θλιψιν και την πτωχειαν αλλα πλουσιοσ ει και την βλασφημιαν εκ των λεγοντων ιουδαιουσ ειναι εαυτουσ και ουκ εισιν αλλα συναγωγη του σατανα
I know thy tribulation, and destitution, nevertheless, thou art, rich, and the profane speech from among them who affirm that they themselves are, Jews, and they are not, but a synagogue of Satan.
10 μηδεν φοβου α μελλεισ παθειν ιδου δη μελλει βαλειν ο διαβολοσ εξ υμων εισ φυλακην ινα πειρασθητε και εξετε θλιψιν ημερων δεκα γινου πιστοσ αχρι θανατου και δωσω σοι τον στεφανον τησ ζωησ
Do not fear the things which thou art about to suffer. Lo! the adversary is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and may have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
11 ο εχων ουσ ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταισ εκκλησιαισ ο νικων ου μη αδικηθη εκ του θανατου του δευτερου
He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. He that overcometh, shall in nowise be injured by reason of the second death.
12 και τω αγγελω τησ εν περγαμω εκκλησιασ γραψον ταδε λεγει ο εχων την ρομφαιαν την διστομον την οξειαν
And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Pergamum, write: —These things, saith he that hath the sharp, two-edged sword:
13 οιδα τα εργα σου και που κατοικεισ οπου ο θρονοσ του σατανα και κρατεισ το ονομα μου και ουκ ηρνησω την πιστιν μου εν ταισ ημεραισ εν αισ αντιπασ ο μαρτυσ μου ο πιστοσ οσ απεκτανθη παρ υμιν οπου ο σατανασ κατοικει
I know where thou dwellest, where, the throne of Satan, is; and thou art holding fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed near you, where, Satan, dwelleth.
14 αλλ εχω κατα σου ολιγα οτι εχεισ εκει κρατουντασ την διδαχην βαλααμ οσ εδιδαξεν τον βαλακ βαλειν σκανδαλον ενωπιον των υιων ισραηλ και φαγειν ειδωλοθυτα και πορνευσαι
Nevertheless, I have against thee, a few things, —that thou hast there, such as hold fast the teaching of Balaam, —who went on to teach Balak to throw a cause of stumbling before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices and to commit lewdness:
15 ουτωσ εχεισ και συ κρατουντασ την διδαχην των νικολαιτων ομοιωσ
thus, even, thou, hast such as hold fast the teaching of the Nicolaitanes, in like manner.
16 μετανοησον ουν ει δε μη ερχομαι σοι ταχυ και πολεμησω μετ αυτων εν τη ρομφαια του στοματοσ μου
Repent, therefore, otherwise, I come unto thee speedily, —and will fight against them, with the sword of my mouth.
17 ο εχων ουσ ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταισ εκκλησιαισ τω νικωντι δωσω αυτω του μαννα του κεκρυμμενου και δωσω αυτω ψηφον λευκην και επι την ψηφον ονομα καινον γεγραμμενον ο ουδεισ οιδεν ει μη ο λαμβανων
He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. Unto him that overcometh, I will give, unto him, of the hidden manna, and I will give unto him a white stone, and, upon the stone, a new name written, which, no one, knoweth, save he that receiveth it.
18 και τω αγγελω τησ εν θυατειροισ εκκλησιασ γραψον ταδε λεγει ο υιοσ του θεου ο εχων τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτου ωσ φλογα πυροσ και οι ποδεσ αυτου ομοιοι χαλκολιβανω
And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Thyatira, write: —These things, saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like unto glowing copper:
19 οιδα σου τα εργα και την αγαπην και την πιστιν και την διακονιαν και την υπομονην σου και τα εργα σου τα εσχατα πλειονα των πρωτων
I know thy works, and thy love, and faith, and ministry, and endurance, —and that, thy last works, are more than the first.
20 αλλ εχω κατα σου οτι αφεισ την γυναικα σου ιεζαβελ η λεγει εαυτην προφητιν και διδασκει και πλανα τουσ εμουσ δουλουσ πορνευσαι και φαγειν ειδωλοθυτα
Nevertheless, I have against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, she who calleth herself a prophetess, and is teaching and leading astray my own servants to commit lewdness and to eat idol-sacrifices;
21 και εδωκα αυτη χρονον ινα μετανοηση και ου θελει μετανοησαι εκ τησ πορνειασ αυτησ
and I gave her time, that she might repent, and she willeth not to repent out of her lewdness.
22 ιδου βαλλω αυτην εισ κλινην και τουσ μοιχευοντασ μετ αυτησ εισ θλιψιν μεγαλην εαν μη μετανοησωσιν εκ των εργων αυτησ
Lo! I cast her into a bed, and them who are committing adultery with her, into great tribulation, —except they repent out of her works;
23 και τα τεκνα αυτησ αποκτενω εν θανατω και γνωσονται πασαι αι εκκλησιαι οτι εγω ειμι ο ερευνων νεφρουσ και καρδιασ και δωσω υμιν εκαστω κατα τα εργα υμων
and, her children, will I slay with death; —and all the assemblies shall get to know, that, I, am he that searcheth reins and hearts, and will give unto you, each one, according to your works.
24 υμιν δε λεγω τοισ λοιποισ τοισ εν θυατειροισ οσοι ουκ εχουσιν την διδαχην ταυτην οιτινεσ ουκ εγνωσαν τα βαθεα του σατανα ωσ λεγουσιν ου βαλλω εφ υμασ αλλο βαροσ
But, unto you, I say, —the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, such as have not come to know the deep things of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;
25 πλην ο εχετε κρατησατε αχρι ου αν ηξω
nevertheless, what ye have, hold fast, till I shall have come.
26 και ο νικων και ο τηρων αχρι τελουσ τα εργα μου δωσω αυτω εξουσιαν επι των εθνων
And, he that overcometh, and keepeth throughout my works, I will, give unto him, authority over the nations;
27 και ποιμανει αυτουσ εν ραβδω σιδηρα ωσ τα σκευη τα κεραμικα συντριβησεται ωσ καγω ειληφα παρα του πατροσ μου
and he shall shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, —as, vessels of earthenware, are dashed in pieces: —as, I also, have received from my Father.
28 και δωσω αυτω τον αστερα τον πρωινον
And I will give unto him the morning star.
29 ο εχων ουσ ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταισ εκκλησιαισ
He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies.
